kiSSkill

I'm spending so long on skills because it's such a positive topic. That, and the simple writer's need to leave no stone unturned.
My own long tenure in office environs means that I automatically find myself nodding at the mention of something like apologising as a skill. It can be; there's a world of difference between "Sorry mate" when you bump into a colleague in the corridor, and reporting to the boss when you've stuffed up an order.
It seems though that at the higher and lower end of the scale, these skills are little exercised; the tramp and Trump both feeling less need for them in their role.

Bad manners and a lack of grace can be found in the grounds of many a vocation. This doesn't mean that a person who can expertly genuflect shouldn't have their day in the sun.

Giving thanks is social while prioritising refers to the business at hand, nonetheless I'm not going to dispute their importance. I think it's good to realise that the skills can be exercised without compromise even in an environment where others are flourishing without them, even being sustained by their lack.
